Performance is terrific, this car has grunt and sounds incredible when accelerating hard, nice sound with V8 rumble. The main thing about this car is that although a large relatively heavy car it doesn't feel like that to drive at all. It handles incredibly well and if fact I have to keep reminding myself that it's not a hot hatch. The combination of dynamic drive and 20 inch wheels give it unbelievable cornering ability for a car this size. The dynamic drive means virtually no body roll! Brakes are awesome as well. The car is quiet and beautifully damped so that even with the large wheels it still rides incredibly well. 12.4L per 100 average fuel economy is nothing to complain about either....the trade off for not going for a 5.0 litre V8 as so many others do! Interior is once again beautifully finished and a great place to spend time. The leather seats are club leather and trimmed to perfection. I am shocked that the Motoring journalists complained about IDrive as it is so simple system to use and works well, I have no complaints with it - i would hate to see these guys on their computers if they have trouble with Idrive! Exterior looks very classy and works well with the 20 inch wheels. My wife thinks it looks nice as well...it has some attitude but understated and classy too! Ownership is an absolute pleasure, service is on required approximately every two years or (approx 20,000 kms) or according to the BMW computer which really reduces the time spent in service. All in all a great car, shame some other motorists are so opinionated as they really are missing out LOL

Pros:
Love this car, it's beautifully built, an absolute hoot to drive, understated, elegant & efficient...an absolute bargain and an extremely underrated car....which suits me fine as I'm happy to slide under the radar while all the others don't know what they missing out on.

2004 Bmw 745li —
This car is very addictive to drive. It does not drive like the large sedan that it is; instead it feels like I am driving a small sports car with great handling, acceleration, braking, performance, and very smooth ride, but yet still stiff enough to cut those tight corners and pass which makes the car really fun. 0-60 in only 4.5 seconds which is very fast for a tall, large, heavy sedan.
All in all; this car is worth EVERY penny of $85,000 that it is worth brand new.
